Xu Xin wandered around the cave again but didn't find the source of the wind noise, so he decided to ignore it for now. The urgent task at hand was to take these stones back and make the crafting table.
After gathering 50 stones, Xu Xin headed in the direction of his treehouse.
He needed to quickly make a backpack. Although fifty pebble-sized stones weren't heavy, carrying them was too troubleso.
Upon returning to the treehouse, Xu Xin imdiately accessed the screen, entered basic material crafting, and clicked on the [Primary Crafting Table] option.
[Primary Crafting Table creation complete, please select where to place the crafting table.]
An image of a crafting table appeared before him, approximately the size of a dining table. After a mont of thought, Xu Xin decided to place the crafting table temporarily in the far corner of the third floor.
Since there weren't many items yet, he didn't plan extensively. Xu Xin's idea was to use the first floor as a warehouse and the second floor as a workshop, while the third floor would be his living area. However, that would an being too far from the screen, which wasn't convenient now, so for the mont, he put it on the third floor. Anyway, the area of the first floor was a full hundred square ters.
With a loud bang, the crafting table appeared right in front of Xu Xin. It was a simple tool table made of stone and wood, looking quite professional, and a virtual small screen was positioned at the back of the crafting table, displaying various options.
"Why is this so high-tech!" Xu Xin couldn't help but complain.
Looking at the virtual small screen, the content on it pleasantly surprised Xu Xin.
[Backpack (Green): A backpack with 10 slots, each able to accommodate various quantities of materials based on their type, reducing the weight of materials to 20% of the original. Requires Animal Skin (Green) *1, Rope (White) *3]
This backpack sure is a good thing! Although in Xu Xin's expectations, the materials in the backpack should ideally be weightless, reducing the weight to 20% wasn't bad either. It reduced a full 80% of the weight, aning he could carry five tis his usual load capacity worth of materials, and this was just a green-grade backpack.
But what is this animal skin? And what about the rope?
Xu Xin thought for a mont and figured it out. He was still within the three-day newcor protection period, with no beasts around. So far, the only animals he had seen were non-aggressive fish, shrimp, and insects, not even a rabbit. These land animals should appear only after the newcor protection period ends, right?
As for the rope, Xu Xin thought of the reeds by the lake.
Maybe he should go check it out later.
Continue looking.
[Torch (White): A simple torch that allows you to venture out at night, with a narrow field of vision; be cautious though, setting the wilderness on fire could land you in prison! Requires Wood (White) *1, Charcoal (White) or Coal (Green) *1]
[Grill (Green): A simple barbecue grill where wood can be placed for automatic burning; you can grill anything! Requires Iron Block (Green) *3]
[Primary Furnace (Green): The lowest grade furnace allowing wood to burn automatically; try slting so materials for unexpected surprises! Requires Pebble (Green) or Stone (Green) *100]
[Fireplace (Green): Can be placed on the treehouse wall; with wood burning automatically, it absorbs smoke and harmful gases; without it, beware of freezing in winter! Requires Pebble (Green) or Stone (Green) *100]
Looking at these fire-related items, Xu Xin rubbed his chin in contemplation. He had over thirty large red berries, and there was a plant with large red berries in the jungle; the night vision effect was much better than a torch.
But the torch is a movable light source, providing deterrence to beasts, so it's necessary to keep so.
Based on his gaming experience, charcoal should be able to be produced using a furnace, and considering it's white quality, white wood should suffice. As for coal, it might not be sothing he needs to consider at this stage.
The grill is a good thing, but he didn't have any iron blocks. However, he wasn't worried since soon the regional channel would open, and with a trading platform, soone's treehouse might be near iron mines, enabling him to purchase so from others.
The fireplace wasn't urgently needed now; in the middle of sumr, wearing a short sleeve shirt or even being shirtless worked up a sweat, and the nights were still hot. Currently, this item was unnecessary.
Thinking about it, most survivors wouldn't manufacture a crafting table so early since green-grade materials were hard to find; if winter ca early, a large number would freeze.
Xu Xin glanced at the screen's ti; it was already past eleven o'clock at night, aning the third day of the newcor period was about to begin.
He opened the [Regional Channel], which showed a countdown for the opening ti.
[6 hours 53 minutes until the channel opens]
It seed that the regional channel would open at six the next morning.
Xu Xin lay on the creaky wooden bed, quickly falling asleep after a day of exhaustion.
Xu Xin was awakened by a notification sound.
[Regional Channel Open, Current Area: Jungle District 188, Current Population: 9997 people. From today, you are no longer alone. Final warning: do not abandon the small treehouse that belongs to you alone. Now, survive together with other survivors!
Initially grumpy from being woken up, Xu Xin imdiately sprang up upon hearing this sound. Xu Xin had placed the bed next to the screen, so he reached out and clicked on the [Regional Channel] option.
The channel included two sub-channels, naly the chat lobby and trading platform, just as Xu Xin had imagined.
Eagerly clicking on the chat lobby, he found it completely quiet with no one speaking.
Suddenly, a line of text appeared in the previously silent chat lobby.
"Is anyone there?"
Instantly, the lobby ca alive.
"There are really people!!"
"Holy crap! Finally!"
"Two days, two days! Do you know how I've lived these two days?!"
"What's the situation now?!"
The chat lobby was quickly flooded with various responses.
"Are you guys in your treehouses now?"
"Yeah, yeah, everyone starts with a treehouse seed, is it the sa for everyone else?"
"Sa here!"
" too!"
"I must say, this display screen is quite high-tech!"
"Does anyone know how to go back? I haven't saved my ga! I fell asleep on the desk and ended up here!"
Seeing the non-stop discussion in the chat channel, Xu Xin couldn't help but smile. So of the conversations were accompanied by nas, while others displayed as anonymous. Xu Xin clicked the chat box and discovered it had a voice input-like function.
[Please choose whether to be anonymous.]
Xu Xin chose yes; he'd wait and see for now.
He tried calling out the nas of so acquaintances, including family and friends, but nobody responded; however, it sparked a fervent search for relatives and friends.
"Zhang San, is Zhang San here, is Zhang San in this district?"
"Li Si, your dad is calling you ho for dinner!"
"Wang Wu, Wang Wu, it's your girlfriend; please contact if you see this!"
Yet, the calls hardly received any responses; only a few replies ca due to shared nas.
